The robot was taught to distinguish between transparent things.

Toyota’s R&D engineers taught the robot with its hands new skills. Now he knows how to qualitatively detect transparent and mirror objects, as well as shoot himself with an action camera, choosing the optimal angle.

Toyota has been developing robots with hands for years, hoping to eventually create robotic home helpers for people with disabilities or the elderly. The company tested one of the prototypes with a disabled war veteran in 2017, when the robot was already able to grab objects, for example, a water bottle, press buttons and perform other basic household actions. But, as is often the case in robotics, from a primary prototype that performs basic tasks to a full-fledged serial robot, a long time passes, during which developers solve many small scenarios that are quite rare, but without them, the development cannot be released into the commercial stage. for lack of security or inconvenience. At the beginning of the year, engineers showed one such stage, solving the problem of navigating around the house with objects on the floor, walking people and other obstacles: they proposed fixing the robot upside down on the ceiling.
